Pink Carnation series
It's always a sad day when a long-running series comes to an end, especially one I've enjoyed as much as Lauren Willig's Pink Carnation series, but I suppose all good things must come to an end.

I have not had much success with New Year's resolutions in recent years. I followed up a goal to "scrapbook more" with not scrapbooking at all, then failed dismally when I vowed to clean out my e-mail in-box (if you've been waiting for me to reply to you since August 2007, you have plenty of company ...
